State/UT-wise number of Women beneficiaries benefitted under PMEGP scheme during last three years and current year is given at Annexure.
Following steps have been taken for the effective implementation of PMEGP:
- The process of application flow, including bank sanctions and disbursement, has been made faster and transparent through introduction of on-line portal.
- The process of selection of entrepreneurs has been further streamlined with the discontinuation of the role of District Level Task Force Committee  since April, 2020, in recommending proposals/applications to financing banks. In the revised scenario, the proposals are now sent directly by Implementing Agencies to financing banks based on a Score Card model, thereby reducing the overall approval period.
- Organizing of Entrepreneurship Training Programme , mandatory before disbursal of loan by Banks, has been made online since October 2019 to provide expedited training and release of loan to the beneficiaries.
- Free two day online pre- EDP training has been introduced for interested applicants.
- The list of activities has been expanded to attract entrepreneurs for setting up diverse units.
- Implementing Agencies like Khadi and Village Industries Commission , State Khadi and Village Industries Board  and District Industries Centres  are providing handholding to applicants, through call centres, online tutorials as well as with help desks with banking and marketing experts.
- Sector/industry wise webinars are also being organized every Sunday involving industry experts and banks with participation of more than 300,000 prospective applicants.
